KingPin timber-cutting optimization and production forecasts
Sveaskog launched KingPin and reported more stable timber-production forecasts
Problem
Customers increasingly needed timber with specific dimensions. Sveaskog had to match those requirements to the trees available in each delivery area.
Approach
Sveaskog developed KingPin with ForestX and Tenfifty and launched it in summer 2022. The AI tool tested cutting prescriptions in a digital forest, evaluated intermediate results and refined alternatives. It simulated outcomes down to individual trees.
Results
No published figures
Takeaway
Sveaskog reported steadier deliveries and more stable forecasts. It did not quantify those improvements.
